entrancelogs | [OPEN MINGLE] Or perhaps in Slytherin

Who: Slytherin House! (And friends and visitors, of course!)
Where: Slytherin Common Room, Quidditch Pitch, various places around Hogwarts
When: Duration of the event
Rating: G (will edit as necessary)
Summary: Slytherin open log!
The Story:

The Slytherin common room was a long, low underground room with rough stone walls and ceiling, from which round, greenish lamps were hanging on chains. A fire was crackling under an elaborately carved mantelpiece ahead of them, and several Slytherins were silhouetted around it in carved chairs.

The common room has changed, somewhat, from its historical description, thanks to the decorative powers of one Mettaton. Though it still extends beneath the lake and thus retains a greenish, aquatic cast, it's much more brightly lit, its cold, damp atmosphere replaced with dazzling MTT-brand warmth. Even the giant squid, occasionally peering in as it does its rounds of the lake, seems just a shade more glamorous inside such a charming space.

Students - and a ghost or two - can be found nestled within its confines, plotting mischief around the fire, studiously doing their homework (as good students do), or perhaps trading Chocolate Frog trading cards. Though Slytherin is not especially well-known for its wide-open, trusting nature, Slytherins are known for not snitching on each other; if a guest or two were to creep in for a while, then odds are, nobody saw anything.

[He winks playfully at her.]

It's right where it needs to be, little miss.

[His hand smooths over her hair, and though his tone is still disbelieving, his expression above her head contains a trace of wistfulness.]

No doubt you'll never let me live it down, either.

I did learn smugness from the best ...

[ she learned most things from lucifer, including hexes. if it ever does happen, elena will probably gloat. but only a little. she'd mostly be happy. she wants good things for him, even if she keeps trying not to think about the fact this is his last year at hogwarts. (she doesn't want to lose him.) ]

I'm serious, though! Do you know how hard it is to get a date when you're so intimidating? And if it's not you, it's Nik, and if it's not Nik, it's Katerina. At this rate, no one will ever take me to the Yule Ball. [ the tragedy. ]

[He'd likely let her gloat. She would have earned it, in this case. He certainly gives her a hard enough time, but it comes from a good place, he swears.]

Nonsense. You can just go with me.

[:)]

I'm not going to be the cause of denying the school the pleasure of watching you dance in a gown. That would be a bloody shame on all counts.

[ a giggle escapes her lips in spite of herself, elena curling up on his side. despite her mild — "mild" — complaints, elena wouldn't know what to do with herself if lucifer was no longer a touch possessive of her. (besides, if this is his last year, he really should take her to the dance.) ]

Now you're distracting me with compliments and it won't work.

[ much. he taught her too well. ]

Promise me you won't be mean.

[ the picture of lucifer and elena curled up on the couch is not an infrequent one. it's also one that stirs in klaus equal parts exasperation and affection ~~and a tad bit of envy shh~~ given just how close the three of them tend to be.

at least in terms of proximity, when it comes to lucifer. (jk he loves you too lucy.)

klaus rolls his eyes some and strides around their sofa without missing a beat, intent on taking the seat on the other side of elena. ] If he is, he'll answer to me.

Ah, there he is. I was wondering when you'd wander in here to be lazy with the rest of us.

[It's gentle teasing. None of them are honestly particularly lazy, even if he in particular likes to give off that aura to hide the fact that he's up to something else entirely.]

I would never be mean to our lovely Elena. [He turns his head to look at her again as Klaus has a seat.] In regards to your Damon, however, I can't promise anything. I don't like to break them, after all.

[ s c o f f. ]

I don't think you could. [ it's said not without a hint of pride. damon doesn't easily cow to anyone, much less break. it sets him apart from the rest who eventually walk away with their tail in between their legs. speaking of legs, elena swings hers over klaus' lap to give him more room on their couch. ]

And I was simply reminding Lucifer I'm not the only one with a soft spot for badgers these days.

[ klaus is content to laze about as lucifer deigns to put it, casually spreading out into the space elena gives him and resting his arm over her thighs. truth be told it's been quite a long day of questionable health thanks to his pesky lycanthropy, and there's nothing more he'd like than the freedom to lounge in the common room before he's forced into hiding out at the library with fitz.

he's loosening his tie until the mention of damon salvatore. that name has klaus pausing and sighing a long-suffering sigh. sorry boo, klaus agrees with lucy on this one. also wow klaus is pretty sure they could break damon. ] My soft spot for a badger is not driven by an uncharacteristic lack of sense. [ lookin' at you kid. ] You could do much better, princess.

Oh I'm pretty sure I could break just about anyone given enough time, but I'm afraid I was referring to my promises currently. My word is my bond and all.

[His eyebrows lift and he tilts his head towards Klaus for a moment, as if to give his words his own seal of approval.]

It's not his House I care about. Well, not as much as the other more obvious downsides.

[ despite the casualty with which they speak of damon's character and her feelings for him — or maybe because of it — elena can feel her blood start to boil. it's the infamous petrova fire brought to a dangerous simmer, and not without a fierce protectiveness for someone she already considers hers. nothing good happens when her temper decides to grace someone's doorstep, though to her credit, she's reining it in pretty well because she loves them both. truly and deeply; even when they're horribly unfair. even when they'll treat what she's about to say like the tantrum of a younger sibling and little else.

she brings herself to her feet, unceremoniously disentangling herself from the both of them.

she looks to klaus through thinly narrowed slits. ] You are a raging hypocrite, and as long as you're dating your little hufflepuff I refuse to listen to a word you say. And you — [ her index finger nearly shakes as she points it at lucifer. ] You didn't want me.

[ her tongue is the blunt edge of a sword. ] I am done letting you make it so that no one else does, either. I love him, and I am going to be with him, whether you two like it or not. [ time ... to storm out like a little diva. ]

[ elena's blowout is not particularly surprising, considering her fiery nature ensures she has one every now and then. if it's not something klaus is always fond of, it is something that links and ingratiates them: they have passion and anger. (all three of them do underneath their carefully sculpted, cool exteriors.)

she's right; he does see elena's wrath as the tantrum of younger, lovesick little sibling, but he also knows why she is having it. klaus bears her anger and accusations silently, sighing, rolling his eyes, and not quite hiding his amusement.

(and yet he still does look away from her literally and figuratively pointing finger I WONDER WHY

but ten points to her for the awkward lucifer situation at the very least ok)

klaus watches her stomp away. ] Well that went well.

[His finger lifts even as his mouth opens to reply, and then she so thoroughly slays him that his teeth are audible and they snap back together, his expression almost...guilty.

He didn't expect that, at least.

Lucifer clears his throat as she storms out, waiting until she's properly left the room before he responds to that.]

She's just being stubborn. I'm sure I'm right about this.
